Fire on the mountain

There's a forest fire burning about 50 miles south of here.  Check out the color of the sky!  I asked several people (including a forest ranger) how concerned I should be about this, and the answer was "not much".  They move slowly and shouldn't be an issue if I stick to paved roads.  They're redirecting hikers on the PCT, but road traffic should be unaffected.  Avoiding forest fires, a new degree of difficulty!  (pun!)

As soon as I cleared Washington Pass the skies cleared up.  The smoke tends to stay in a valley, so I've got clean air ahead of me.
